However, tne surplus also came in ahead of the €16.8bn recorded a year earlier, helped by a sharper fall in imports than exports.
Seasonally adjusted exports slipped 0.8% on the month to €138.2bn, though they were still 6.1% higher year‑on‑year,whilei mports dropped 5.7% to €116.9bn, but remained 3% above July 2025 levels.
Trade with the EU softened, with exports to the bloc down 1.6% on the month at €78bn and imports falling 6.1% to €59.6bn, while shipments to non‑EU markets edged 0.2% higher to €60.2bn, and imports from those countries declined 5.3% to €57.4bn.
